So yesterday was a good day. I've been attending local meetings, talking with people I'm supposed to support.
And debate ensued. I'm quite entertaining when I debate, apparently.
We had a member from an organization whose duty it is to consult and they haven't been. But they made representation yesterday that they have been to a room full of people who can only take them at their word.
So I sat back and listened and wrote down responses and waited. I gave them an opportunity to take back their misrepresentation but they didn't. At the end of their presentation I stood up and corrected them.
They took offense, stood up and tried to school me.
I stood up and said, "I don't want to turn this into a debate but...."
They stood up and responded. I was thinking of not. But did.
It's funny because members of their staff, whose hands are tied by the very policy I was debating, came up to me at the end and thanked me for being a voice.
I could have kept doing it all day.
Because, really, I love a debate.
Monday I went out for cheap margaritas, last night I went out with a friend whose in town for a couple of days, tomorrow is our staff party.
I may just take next week off because after sitting down and filling out my overtime request, since the middle of November I've worked 61 hours of overtime. That's 9 hours short of two weeks, which is insane, which has probably lead me to make bad decisions. And lead me to start drinking a bit more than I usually do.
On a good note, the Oilers are doing not bad!
